A protective film forming agent for plasma dicing which can favorably form an opening (processed groove) of a desired shape by irradiation of a laser beam, at a desired position of the protective film, upon producing semiconductor chips by cutting a semiconductor substrate by plasma dicing, and a method for producing a semiconductor chip using this protective film forming agent. The protective film forming agent comprises a water-soluble resin, a light absorber, and a solvent, and a weight loss rate when the temperature is raised to 500° C. in thermogravimetry of the water-soluble resin is at least 80 weight %.

Protective film forming agent for plasma dicing and method for manufacturing semiconductor chip

A protective film forming agent for dicing of semiconductor wafers for forming a protective film on the surface of the semiconductor wafers and capable of forming a protective film of high absorbance index, and a production method of semiconductor chips using the protective film forming agent. In a protective film forming agent containing a water-soluble resin, light absorber and solvent, a compound having a specific structure is used as the light absorber. The content of the light absorber in the protective film forming agent is 0.1% by mass or more and 10% by mass or less.
